Red Bluff man arrested for possession of a dangerous weapon

A Red Bluff man was arrested Sunday night after following a female city employee to her car while carrying a large knife.

The employee left work at the police and fire departments building around 10 p.m. Sunday and feared for her safety after being followed to her car by 57-year-old David White, according to a Red Bluff Police Department press release.

Police found White in possession of a large, fixed blade knife, which he dropped when told to do so by officers. But he resisted arrest for a short time and sustained minor injuries.

White was booked into Tehama County Jail charged with misdemeanor possession of a dangerous weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
